STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS' CONSOLIDATED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
(FIRST REQUEST)
BRENDA WEKSLER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendant Rancho Mesquite Casino, Inc. d/b/a Eureka Casino Resort (“Rancho Mesquite”) and Plaintiffs William Houghton, Michael Oldham, Kristen Andrew and Andrew Figura (“Plaintiffs”) stipulate as follows:
1. Pursuant to the Court's Order Granting Consolidation Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a) in this Action (ECF No. 29) and Order Granting Motion to Consolidate Cases in Case No. 2:23-cv-276-CDS-CJA (ECF No. 23), Plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Class Action Complaint (“CAC”) on June 16, 2023 (ECF No. 31).
2. The operative deadline for Rancho Mesquite to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint is July 17, 2023 (ECF No. 23).
3. Since May 2023, the parties have been engaged in settlement discussions, which remain ongoing. The parties are currently working to schedule a private mediation session in an attempt to resolve this dispute.
4. Rancho Mesquite has requested, and Plaintiffs have agreed to, an extension of this deadline up to and including September 15, 2023, to provide additional time for the parties to focus on discussions of a potential settlement of this Action, while avoiding the significant expenditure of time and financial resources required to litigate issues related to the CAC.
5. The parties agree that there is good cause for this extension.
6. This is the first request for an extension, and it is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
ORDER
On the basis of good cause, IT IS ORDERED that the deadline for Defendant Rancho Mesquite Casino, Inc. d/b/a/ Eureka Casino Resort to respond to Plaintiffs' Consolidated Class Action Complaint is extended up to and including September 15, 2023.
